	I think this would be great as a standard tyoe. Many people wn't poke
	around n the source tree looking for neat things like this, but would
	gain even greater respect for Postgres if they found it in the default
	system. Remember we know have a lot of people installing RedHat inux,
	and being presented with Postgres as the default SQL server. 

	I would like to see them impressed by the functionality. Many of these
	people will probably want to do table with network parmaters in them.

	I recomend making it a standard type.
